Abstract
This paper deals with a secure satellite-terrestrial multicast framework over shadowed Rician fading channel, where a satellite communicates with legitimate receivers in the appearance of several eavesdroppers. Our main aim focuses on the protection of this multicast messages from wiretapping. The secrecy performance is analyzed by deriving expressions for two secrecy measures such as the ergodic secrecy multicast capacity and secure outage probability for multicasting in closed-form. The derived mathematical expressions provides an useful insight into how the severity of shadowing affects the secrecy performance of the proposed model. Impact of fading, multicast users and number of eavesdropper on the secure outage behavior is also quantified which provides a trade-off between security and the system parameters. At last a close agreement between the analytical and Monte-Carlo simulation results is presented to validate the derived mathematical expressions.
